Comments - Intriguing kabuki scene of a Chinese nobleman attacking a samurai, having just sliced a mask in half, the two pieces falling to the ground at right as the victim tumbles backwards. The nobleman wears a robe patterned with a dragon and swirling clouds and a ruffled collar. At left, another man frowns angrily, holding his sword at his side. Nicely detailed with burnishing in the black kimono and on the back of the mask.
